NEW POLICE COMMISSIONERS.
Probability that Two Will Be Appointed To-
Day by the State Officers.

The State officers composing the State Police
Board will meet this morning at 10 o'clock for
the purpose Of electing one, and probably two
police commissioners for this city, The term of
Mr. Murphy expired with yesterday. and it is
understood Mr.. Downing will tender his resigna-
ton at the board meeting this morning AS to
VINO will be selected to fill the vacancies is the
subject of much speculation. The candidates
who have announced themselves are Dora John
son, Albert Beck, j. L. F. Steeg, Sterling r. Holt
lof ballot-box fame), James Mckay and Jesse
Whitsett The State officers refuse to say who
they have IN view, but 1t is generally believed the
appo!ntees Will be Holland Whtsett. They are the
candidates of the Liquor League, and it is not
denied that the League will control the appoint
ments. The prominent members of the League,
who have been going down in their pockets and
replenlshing the campaign fund, have served no.
tice on the Democratic managers that unless
they are given voice in the matter there will
be no response when the call is made for cam
palgn fund next time. The idea prevails among
the State officers that the men they select will
be able to serve out their terms and
they hope to thus secure control of the
force for the next two years, The
programme of the Democrats is to
reorganlze the force soon as the new commits
sioners qualify. Superintendent Travis, at the
command of the saloon keepers will be removed,
and Democrat put in his place. There is con-
siderable speculation as to who the new super
intendent will be, for there are to be numerous
candidates. It is generally understood, how
ever, that IL will be Captain Colbert.

THE BEGINNING OF 1887.
How the Closing Hours of the Old Year
We're Made Enjoyable by Many.
of the Ladies Who Will Receive Their
Friends During To Day.

There is one thing which widening culture has
been unable to eliminate from civilization, and
that the bounding welcome new year is sure
to have. The average man can sustain himself
with proper decornm until he has opportunity
to enter the race of letting off the pressure
on New Years eve. He is for it
honoring the occasion with pecularites of frisk-
mess that leave dignity in the shade. The CO.
ing ont of 1886 was exception to the rule. 1t
had the traditional winter day of falling snow
and brisk air. which kept people within doors
During the early evening nobody was on the
street unless he had business to be there, and
the hotel Hobbies were almost deserted. But as the
last hours of the year were passing the blast
OF the hideous tin horn, supported by few scat-
tering reports of pistols and Chinese crackers,
told of the nearness of frolic The noise In
creased until midnight, when the whistles and
bells were set going in honor of the advent of
1887. The din was not long sustained, and
within a. few minutes there was COM
parative quetness, excepting shout now
and then from some party of registering bloods.
Egg-cog and Tom and Jerry, the beverages Gus
tom has decreed tor this free and easy period OF
the winter season. were in demand. and sent
abroad the all-nlght squads. Once New Years
had it's share in the custom of distributing pres
ents, but that has gone out OF fashion.
In the q1ieter rounds Of life general social
obligations are being eschewed, except in The
way of public balls but the feature Of New
Years calls still holds its place, no matter how
hard the extra fashonables pronounce against
it. Here and there can be found lingering of
the religious devotion that was common with
the past generation to receive the New Year
with prayers and songs of praise and last night
there were watch services at several of the
churches.

ARREST OF AN ACTOR.
A Member of the Minute Men" Company
Has Serious Trouble with His Wife.

There was trouble at the Occidental Hotel yes
terday afternoon between Nestor Lennon and
his wife. 1t appears that the two have not been
agreeing as they should for some time, each be-
ing jealous of the other Yesterday afternoon
Mrs Lennon received letter while her husband
was in the room with her. the contents of which
affected her very much She refused to allow
him to see the letter, which she burned. Over
the matter a quarrel ensued. Lennon went
down to the hotel office for few minutes and
when he returned his wife had razor in her
hand and declared she was going to
drown herself in drink, and then kill
herself She asked her husband to
60 and procure her some whisky, which he re-
fused to do. whereupon she sprang at him with
the razor. He grabbed her arm and pushed her
back, and in doing SO the razor struck the back
of her neck and cut deep cash. S.e rushed
down stairs and reported that her husband had
tried to kill her, and wanted him arrested. To
avoid trouble Mr.. Lennon went to the station
house and gave himself up. MIR. Comstock
proprietor of the Occidental, became his bonds
man, and he appeared in the performance of
Minute Men of 76' last night as if nothing had
happened,

PERKINS GETS OUT.
He Is Released from Jail on Bail for ST 900
on Judge Gresham's Order.

To the surprise of Samuel E. Perkins his jail
service came suddenly to an end. yesterday after
noon, pending the decision of Judge Gresham on
the habeas corpus appeal, involving the question
of jurisdiction of the United States Court over
election crimes not directly against candidates
for United States offices. Perkins had made up
his mind that no hope of release could be enter
tanned except through relieving himself of the
charge of contempt by testifying. or through a
haheas corpus writ The latter failing in ap-
peal. he would have perhaps taken the first
named course. and made the progress of the in
vestigation before Commissioner Van Buren,
straighter and more rapid in telling all he knows.
His attorneys did not expect to see him out of
Jail before the end of the coming week. They,
with the governments lawyers. had made ar
engagements to 60 to Chicago Sunday night
where the appeal would be argued before
Judge Gresham, Monday Yesterday Clerk
Butler received a letter from the Judge stating
that he could not possibly hear the gentleman
at that time and that none other was convenient
until he came here. Jan. H. to hold term of
court He said that pending the
appeal Perkins could be admitted to
bail. This was just before noon. and
short time later the attorneys had a consulta
ton with Judge Woods in regard to completing
the record looking to bail. No entry could be
arranged satisfactory to both sides. the defense
objecting to pro forma admission of jurisdic
ton and the government to the admission of
Perkins to bail. In this quandary telegram
was sent to Judge Gresham. who replied. fixing
the bail at 1000 and advising the release of
Perkins on his giving that security. About 8
o'clock the bail bond was perfected, with Oscar

The most dreaded insect invader is the

dome-sbaped mounds, often eighteen feet
high. These insects erect pyramids one

The auts on their travels so conceal their
approach that their presence is not sus.
pected until the damage is done. They
usually tunnel into any object which
they attack. often reducing it to mere
shell. In this wsy they have been known
to ascend within the leg Of table, de-
